Review
The brief entry on Gower in Hicks's compilation synopsizes Gower's life and works, emphasizing his conventionality and social criticism. Hicks cites John H. Fisher's "John Gower: Moral Philosopher and Friend of Chaucer" (1965) for further information, and quotes briefly from G. L. Harriss's Introduction to "Henry V: The Practice of Kingship" (1985) where Gower is referred to as being, among Ricardian poets, the "most representative" of the middle stratum of society. [MA.
